well, got some money. this isn't how i thought it was gonna turn out, but it works. got a Spectre cone filter and a 45 degree angle tube. attached it into the stock air box. put that upside down and hooked everything up. it all works great. except the hole in the radiator i found after the test drive.

It's a good use of resources and if it works for you, then great, but I think you would have been better off with one of these:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...oriesh ... rs...ories

yeah. whenever i get real amounts of money, i'll get a real CAI. K&N definitely,

Mighty crafty!

i got a lil desperate. and this way everything can be returned to stock easily.

i'm a K&N believer. this is until i can get a cone from them.

actually alot of my friends do. i just dont. and i cant get a job cause it'll make my grades drop too much. so i barely get any money.

I bet you could do school and work at the same time, you may surprise yourself.

i want a job, but dad wont let me get one from what my brothers and sister did. and dad was there when i bought the stuff.

Well that is good! Yes GRADES come first! But you should have done a poor man's CAI. But that is very inventive!

Debit card + the right job can do wonders! I got paid a pretty sum last week, and it's being funneled to the car. I'm also maintaining good grades. It's all about the right job, I guess. Good budget intake though! As for those ebay links, I hardly trust non-brand name things, especially on ebay.

Good old AMERICAN Injunity (sp) ?

I'm thinking that you're in the boat of "your car" but your parents actually spent the money and bought it, or it was their old car, am I correct? If that's the case, you're better off leaving it stock. Don't go spending a bunch of money on a highschool car. Trust me. Your ideas are cool, and sound fun till you realize you spent a bunch of money on your parents' car that could have been spent on something else.

it's in mom's name, but dad gave it to me a few months ago. where ever i go, i'm taking it with me.

i finally got to drive it last night after fixing the leaky radiator. more mid range torque and low range torque. also the sound i wanted.

The more torque you're feeling is your need to mash down on the pedal now. They do sound good though, but with that ribbed hose still in there you didn't change much at all. A modification that your dad may be more inclined to let you do, is to save up for a new exhaust system, get rid of the resonator, and put a nice turbo-style muffler or a chambered on the back end. It will accomplish more than that intake, and it's air resources legal as long as all of it is behind the CAT and you still have a muffler in general.

i've thought about that. but i dont wanna make the car sound like a fart can ricer like all the honda civic's around here.

That's what a turbo muffler is for. Keeps it from sounding like angry bees. It's louder but not super loud or obnoxious.
